Not literally all idealists. Like, transhumanists and hardcore libertarians and people who like war for its own sake exist.
I’m not sure why you think transhumanists and hardcore libertarians would be part of the exception you’re making. I’m kind of both of those things, yet I think the idealist utopia you describe, modulo a few nitpicks, is roughly what I’m after as well.
Fair point, but that thing is opt-out. You’re born and raised (if people are still being produced) in one of the communities, are socially expected to share, and if you decide you don’t like it you have to leave. I suppose we can still make Proudhon cry by having shared resources be truly collectively owned, so that if you leave you’re given portable possessions equal to the value of your share of community resources like plots of lands and machines.

Transhumanists usually lose the small communities, hardcore libertarians lose or tone way down the collectivism.
Libertarians don’t have any problem with voluntary, opt-in collectivism… I mean that’s kind of what corporations are.
